    Is Wagner's Drive-In still open in Brooklyn Park? They have good food and a parking lot.

    I will really miss Porky's onion rings. Hands down the best rings I've ever had.

      Hell no. Anoka county is absolutely the worst in terms of law enforcement. Washington Co. is where you need it (outside Woodbury anyhow).

          Not anymore. At bar close every on duty cop is sitting on jackson st waiting for drunks. They tamed way down in the last few years, nobody gives a shit about cruising anymore.

              So is there any concrete evidence this is going down, or am I to just believe it, since TCWangs said-so?

                Does anyone know when they have there weekly cruise-ins at Wagners? I live like 10mins from there and would like to check it out.


                BTW: Anoka's cruise scene is completely dead. They took down the no-cruise signs a long time ago.

                  What are the rules with regards to hanging out at a spot? Do the police have any grounds to kick people out as long as they are a patron to a place of business?

                  If all it takes is for the group to spend money on burgers, fries, etc, why dont people hang out at all the places across from Har Mar on Snelling?

                  There are multiple fast food resturants, Old Chicago is there, BW3's, and it is still near the heart of the city.

                  It would actually remind me of the old Wards days if people could hang in the Har Mar lot and cruise multiple food stops. The road is wide, easy access to the Hwy, etc...

                  Realistically as long as everyone made sure to buy stuff from the businesses, kept reciepts, what could the police do? As long as everyone was civil and didnt cause problems I think it could work. I use to know a handful of Roseville Cops that were total gearheads (I grew up in Roseville and got to meet some of the finest first hand, and they were always pretty cool).

                      Im sure some place will pop up down there.. the auto trader lot used to have more people in it then porky's hell even the midway building had a ton of people hanging out. I suppose there is always wendy's. :jail:

                        If you are afraid of "getting shot" on Lake you are a fucking pussy!

                        Maybe if you didn't look so fucking goofy and drive a mobile ... none the less when is the last time you had an altercation on Lake? Been cruising Lake for nearly ten years and I have yet to have a single problem.

                          The car "scene" as we know it died... been said already but, it is sad. That's why I am building my car to drive it. There is going to be nowhere to go but the highways this year...

                            Havent been there in a while but down by Famous Daves Blues bar is nice. If Yurkew tattoo is still there down by the bus station closer to 35, not as safe.

                            We used to hit all the bars on Lake st and mind you this was in the early 90's and never felt it was dangerous.


                            That makes another "Priority" for this spring. Get to Porkys with my photographer to do a photo shoot before it get demolished.
